translated in English, it usually means "Hey Hey!". Proper ways to say hello are

Good morning - Ohayou Gozaimasu
Good Afternoon- Konnichiwa
Good Evening- Konbanwa
Good night - Oyasumi Nasai

An informal way to say hi - YaHo!

Another word you can use is "GokiGenyo!"
Literally &quot I wish) you stay feeling happy."

A colloquial, very formal, feminine greeting used in areas such as Kyoto and Osaka. Gokigenyou is used both to say "hello" and "goodbye," much the way "good day" and "good evening" are used in English.

Gokigenyou is commonly used by older people to greet one-another, and it is the official greeting used by girls, when meeting each other, in some private girls schools.

Dou itashimashite!! You are welcome!

Sekai Wa Sore Wo Ai To Yobun Da Ze
(The World Calls That Love)

Sambomaster

Romaji

Namida no naka ni kasuka na akari ga tomottara
Kimi no me no mae de atatameteta koto hanasu no sa
Soredemo bokura no koe ga kawaite yuku dake nara
Asa ga kuru made semete dareka to utaitain da

Kinou no anata ga nise da to iu nara
Kinou no keshiki wo sutechimau dake da

Atarashii hibi wo tsunagu no wa
Atarashii kimi to boku na no sa
Bokura nazeka tashikameau
Sekai ja sore wo ai to yobun da ze

Kokoro no koe wo tsunagu no ga
Kore hodo kowai mono da to wa
Kimi to boku ga koe wo awasu
Ima made no kako nante
Nakatta ka no you ni utaidasun da

Bokura wa izure dareka wo utagacchimau kara
Semete ima dake utsukushii uta wo utau no sa
Kanashii kotoba de wa ooye
Nanimo kawaranain da ze
Yatsura ga nani wo shitatte iun da

Kinou no anata ga uragiri no hito nara
Kinou no keshiki wo wasurechimau dake da

Atarashii hibi wo kaeru no wa
Ijirashii hodo no ai na no sa
Bokura sore wo tashikameau
Sekai ja sore mo ai to yobun da ze

Kokoro no koe wo tsunagu no ga
Kore hodo kowai mono da to wa
Bokura nazeka koe wo awasu
Ima made no kako nante
Nakattaka no you ni utaidasun da ze

Ai to heiwa!
Kanashimi de hana ga saku mono ka!

Atarashii hibi no bokutachi wa
Takanaru yokan ga shiteru no sa
Kimi to boku ga yume wo sakebu
Sekai wa sore wo matte irun da ze

Anata no tame ni utau no ga
Kore hodo kowai mono da to wa
Dakedo bokura tashikameau
Ima made no kako nante nakatta ka no you ni
Kanashimi no yoru nante
Nakatta ka no you ni utaidasun da ze

Sekai ja sore wo ai to yobun da ze
Love & peace!

English

When a faint light is lit amid my tears
I talk, before your eyes, about how it warmed me
If our voices are just going to dry up anyway
I want to at least sing with someone until the morning comes

If you were fake yesterday
Then I’m just going to throw the scenery of yesterday away

What connects each new day
Is the new you and me
For some reason we make sense of each other
In this world, that’s called love

“What connects the voices of our hearts
Is the things we fear so much”
We say together
We’ll sing as if the past
Never happened

At some point we will doubt somebody
So I want to at least sing a beautiful song for now
Sad words, oh yeah
Won’t change anything
People say that no matter what they do

If you betrayed me yesterday
Then I’ll just forget the scenery of yesterday

What changes each new day
Is the love that touches us so deeply
We make sense of that
In this world, that, too, is called love

“What connects the voices of our hearts
Is the things we fear so much”
We say together, for some reason
We’ll sing as if the past
Never happened

Love and peace!
Flowers can bloom amid sadness!

A premonition of what we will become in those new days
Buoys me
You and I will shout out our dreams
The world is waiting for it

What I am singing of, for you
Is the things I fear so much
But we make sense of them
We’ll sing as if the past never happened
As if the sad nights
Never happened

In this world, that’s called love
Love & peace!
